Solar Stocks Won't Stay Down for Long

The big problem with solar stock is a company named Nanosolar (private). Nanosolar is producing CIGS based solar with a printing press and selling them for about $1.00 a watt. Other solar companies will have to compete with them. I doubt many will succeed. Concentrators look the best but produce little when even the thinnest clouds cover the sun.

Lehman Raises Target on Solar Stocks

nanosolar is a private company at nanosolar.com they have no plans to go public. but shaun is right, nanosolar will make it tough on all silicon based solar manufacturers. right now all sales are under contract, so if you are not already in line, it will be tough to buy from them, but in the years to come, it doesn't look good for very many solar companies except maybe first solar (uses cadmium teluride) and maybe some others using innovative materials or concentrators.
